  • Patent number: 5821094
    Abstract: The S-locus of Brassica contains the genetic information that encodes for self-incompatibility. In its first aspect, it is directed to an isolated gene, the SRK-910 gene, that segregates with the self-incompatibility phenotype. In its second aspect, the present invention is directed to an isolated cDNA that corresponds to the isolated gene and that has 2749 nucleotides.The isolated cDNA of the present invention encodes for a protein, i.e., the S-locus receptor kinase-910 protein ("the SRK-910 protein") which is also a part of the present invention. The SRK-910 protein, has 858 amino acids and is encoded for by the first 2575 nucleotides of the isolated cDNA of the present invention.The present invention is also directed to an oligonucleotide probe that is capable of distinguishing the SRK-910 gene from partially homologous genes at the S-locus that encode for the S-locus glycoproteins.
